BODY CROSS- (in Rus' it is called “telnik”) is entrusted to us in the Sacrament of Baptism in fulfillment of the words of the Lord Jesus Christ: “Whoever wants to come after Me, turn away from yourself, and take up your cross, and follow Me” (Mark 8:34) . A pectoral cross helps to endure illnesses and adversity, strengthens the spirit, protects from evil people and in difficult circumstances. "There is always a cross for believers great power“, delivering from all evils, especially from the villainy of hated enemies,” writes the holy righteous John of Kronstadt. When consecrating the pectoral cross, the priest reads two special prayers in which he asks the Lord God to pour heavenly power into the cross and not to keep this cross only the soul, but also the body from all enemies, sorcerers, sorcerers, from all kinds evil forces. That's why many body crosses there is an inscription “Save and preserve!”.

A handbag, a small bag, a bottle, a pendant in the form of a box with the relics of a saint, the text of a prayer (spell or amulet), incense, oil of oil or some other fillers, which is worn on the chest with a cord or chain. Incense is “tied” to the energy of the church (if it is done in Christian tradition) and to the energy of the person for whom it is being done. In magic it is used to create amulets with a wide range of effects, from protection, treatment, attracting money and good luck - to causing damage.

CRESCENT- throughout the civilized world it is generally accepted that the crescent is a symbol of Islam. However, this symbol, despite its religious connotation, is not such in origin, because it is not in the sacred scriptures - for example, in the Koran. “Of His signs are day and night, the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate (tasjud) before the sun and the moon, but prostrate (wasjud) before the One who created them, if you honor Him!” (Quran, translation 41 :37). Therefore, we will call this symbol vital, i.e. arose in life itself, in the midst of the masses. The signifier in the structure of the concept of “crescent” will be the statement - “light in the night”, signified for the idea of “Islam” - “divine light for people in darkness”; for the meaning “the crescent is a new phase of the moon” corresponds to the signified “Islam is an eternally young, constantly renewed teaching”; for the meaning “the crescent of the luminaries during the migration (Hijra) of Muslims from Mecca” corresponds to the signified “from this moment the Muslim chronology is carried out - from the century of the Hijra”, etc... Protects from the evil eye, the machinations of enemies, gives strength in the study of the Koran.

TALISMAN KHAMSA- In Islam, the hamsa is also called the “Hand of Fatima”, named after the only daughter of the prophet Muhammad. In Judaism, the hamsa is also known as “YAD HA-HAMESH” (“Hand of Five”) or “Hand of Miriam”, named after the sister of Moses and Aaron. This is a palm-shaped protective amulet used by both Jews and Muslims. The word "hamsa" has Semitic roots and means "five". As a rule, anchovy is symmetrical, with thumbs on both sides, and does not copy the anatomical shape of the palm.

The Star of David is depicted on the flag of the State of Israel and is one of its main symbols. The hexagram is a symbol of very ancient origin. Researchers discovered this sign in India, where it appears to have been in use long before it appeared in the Middle East and Europe. Initially, the hexagram was not a specifically Jewish symbol and had nothing to do with Judaism. In the Middle and Near East, she was a symbol of the cult of the goddess Astarte.

MENORAH(literally “lamp” in Hebrew) is one of the most ancient symbols of Judaism, a metal candlestick with seven clay or glass lamps. For example, the Jewish philosopher Philo believed that the menorah symbolizes the seven planets, which are the highest objects accessible to human perception. He argued that the gold from which the menorah is made and its light symbolize the Divine light, or logos. In practical Kabbalah, the menorah serves as a weapon against demons. If the branches of the menorah are bent, it will look like a Star of David from above. Hasidim compare the menorah to a six-winged seraphim, whose name comes from the Hebrew word for fire.

Fatima Ali's husband brought his second wife into the house. At that moment the girl was preparing halva. Fatima was so amazed by what had happened that she dropped the spoon.

Without noticing it herself, the girl began to stir the hot delicacy with her hand, but did not feel any pain, since the wound on her heart hurt more. The husband was so amazed by what he saw that he abandoned his intentions and remained faithful to Fatima for the rest of his life.

Meaning of the Hand of Fatima

The meaning of the symbol in Islam lies in the five foundations of human existence:

Mercy;
Faith;
Pilgrimage;
Fast;
Prayer.

Not only in the Arab world does this symbol exist, it also exists in several other religions and has its own meaning everywhere:

The Jews have a symbol called the hamsha, which represents the holy books of the Torah. Another name is “The Hand of Miriam.”
Hinduism in one of the ancient teachings has the emblem of an open palm - ahimsa, symbolizing submission.

Often the Hamsa becomes the main symbol for protection from harm.

Note: Asians prefer a hand with the fingers pointing down; Jews believe that a hand with the fingers pointing up provides protection. In Israel, the hamsa is most often worn in gold; a silver amulet is less popular. Modern people They use a talisman in the form of a keychain.

What does Hamsa look like?

The talisman is an open symmetrical palm: the fingers have the same shape, size, and the outer fingers have the same length. Usually the amulet is covered with blue paint, which is necessary to protect against evil eyes.

It is customary to decorate the amulet with semi-precious or precious stones all shades of blue. Often the Hand of Fatima is made from a material that reflects light. It is believed that this allows you to repel the evil emanating from others.

The bowl of water will become a symbol of Water;
A handful of earth or salt interprets the element of Earth;
An aroma stick or candle combines two elements at the same time: Fire and Air.

The Hand of Fatima should be passed over the candle or stick, then sprinkle the amulet with salt and sprinkle with water. The end of the ritual should be accompanied by the reading of the parting words: “Protect me from troubles and evil, protect me from deceit and misfortune.” Now the talisman is ready, and you can put it on yourself for further protection.

Who can wear it and how to use the amulet

A talisman can become a reliable amulet for everyone. Age, gender and religion do not matter at all. But those who have chosen such an amulet for themselves should remember that the “Hand of Fatima” does not tolerate falsehood and deceit. An amulet will not bring anything good to such people, since they themselves emit negative energy.

You can wear the talisman either with your fingers up or with your fingers down. The symbol is found in jewelry (pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets) and can be used on entrance doors How decorative element, depicted on household items (dishes, rugs), art (photos and paintings).

The meaning of the Hand of Fatima tattoo

Accordingly, a gold pendant is suitable if you want to attract something into your life (happiness, money, good luck), and a silver pendant, if on the contrary, eliminates it (evil, bad thoughts, troubles). Great option is a pendant with a blue stone that enhances protection. Anchovy with blue enamel will also be relevant. After making the amulet, you should put it into action using the ritual that we have already mentioned above.

Whether the Hand of Fatima will be your reliable companion depends on what meaning you put into it and how strong your faith is.

Creation talismans and working with them is an important part of ceremonial magic. When talking about talismans, terms often appear that seem at first glance to be synonymous with the word talisman. This amulet, sigil, seal and pentacle. Although all these words have similar meanings, there are still subtle differences between them.

Word sigil comes from the Latin sigillum, meaning "signature, sign". A sigil is an abstract symbol that is usually created from the name of a divine force, angel, or spirit used in magic. The sigil is considered to be a signature or symbolic representation of the power behind the name. However, the origins of some sigils, especially those found in many medieval grimoires, are not always clear. They appear to be obtained by looking into a crystal ball, mirror, and the like, rather than from the letters of names.

Closely related to the concept of sigil is the term seal. Seal- this is, as a rule, an abstract symbol, which, unlike a sigil, may not have a connection with a name. In the Middle Ages and Renaissance magic, sigils were often based on cameos or planetary seals, which in turn were based on a grid of numbers. Both sigils and seals are believed to have powerful magical qualities. Even a simple sigil drawn on paper can be a talisman; more complex talismans often include many sigils.

Word pentacle(or pentacle) comes from the Latin pentaculum, which some researchers believe means "small picture". A pentacle is a small talisman drawn in pencil or paint that embodies a specific magical power. Typically, pentacles are round in shape and engraved: hexagram, pentagram or other sign. In Western ceremonial magic, the pentacle often symbolizes the element Earth. We can say that the pentacle represents a container magical powers symbolically depicted on it - it is used to enclose these forces in a circle and ensure their physical, earthly manifestation.

Mascot- a term dating back to the Arabic word tilsam, which in turn is related to the Greek telein (“to sanctify”) and tetelesmenon (“that which has been sanctified”). Mascot is an object that has been charged or consecrated with targeted magical energies. It is believed that the talisman remains a lifeless object until the magician revives it magically, providing it with special energy, which, as a rule, is of an astrological or Kabbalistic nature.

Word amulet comes from the Latin amuletum (“ amulet"), which presumably goes back to the Latin amolior, meaning "to drive away, repel, deflect, disperse." There are also versions that this word is of Arabic origin, it is correlated with the Arabic amula (“a small vessel used in healing”) and hamla (“an object that a person carries for protection”). English word charm, applied to charms - small amulets worn on necklaces and bracelets, comes from the Latin carmen ("song"). Etymology of the word in in this case indicates that initially a spell was chanted over an amulet or talisman, consecrating it and filling it with magical power.

Unlike a talisman, the main ability of an amulet is to protect its owner from harm.

These two words have absolutely different meaning. Mascot(a concept that originated in Arabic and Greek languages) implies the influence of a planet or zodiac sign on a person born under this planet or sign. Consequently, in ancient times the talisman was by its nature sigil or a symbolic figure; it was either engraved on stone or metal, or painted on parchment and worn to attract love to the wearer, as well as ward off danger. Amulet he performed only the second task. This name comes from the Latin word amalior, which means “to drive away” or “to disperse.” Pliny mentions this word as a rustic name for cyclamen, which should have been grown in every home, because where cyclamen grows, poisons lose their potency; hence the name of this flower - amuletum.

In Ancient Babylon, images were carved on stone amulets wind demon Pazuzu. Such amulets were worn by pregnant women because it was believed that this demon had the power to ward off the terrible vampire Lamasgu. Ancient Egyptians wore amulets in the form of ankh, scarab, eye of Horus and many other symbols. Nowadays neo-pagans wear silver pentagrams, and Christians wear crosses and crucifixes . For some, this is not just a designation of their religious affiliation, but also a testament to their belief in the power and ability of these symbols to bring good luck and protect from evil and misfortune.

One school argues that, unlike a talisman, which is considered inert until consecrated, an amulet is usually made from a magically active substance and is sometimes not consecrated at all. An amulet may be of natural or man-made origin, but its material and symbolism themselves have magical powers. Therefore, the main difference between a talisman and an amulet is as follows. Talismans can be dedicated to any purpose, but more often they serve to attract something: a physical object, a benevolent force, useful quality or a favorable combination of circumstances. Amulets are good mainly for protection, to ward off something: destructive force, harmful quality or unfavorable circumstances.

Ancient people noticed that some natural objects bring good luck or have protective properties. This is how amulets, amulets and talismans appeared. What is the difference between all these magic items, and what function do they perform? Why does a person always rely on the help of ordinary objects or stones, what is their power? Let's consider in detail all the properties of artifacts in the article.

Charms and amulets

These artifacts have protective function and are designed to protect their owner from negative energies and influences. However, the amulet is somewhat different from the amulet.

Functions of amulets:

protect from evil and evil spirits;
protect from diseases;
protect from accidents;
protect the owner's luck.

The amulet can be a part of an animal’s body (horn, tooth, wool), a plant, or simply a figurine made of wood or stone. A bird's feather or soil from your native doorstep can become a talisman. A talisman can also be simply a symbol drawn on any object.

Externally, amulets, amulets and talismans may not differ from each other. Their difference lies in the magical program embedded during creation or charging. Sometimes an entity is placed in an artifact, and it becomes a home for it. At the right moment, the entity is activated and executes the necessary program - but always one.

Amulets are also designed to protect a person from harmful forces and from personal negative qualities. For example, an amulet can protect against an explosion of emotions if a person has succumbed to some impression. By restraining internal impulses, the amulet protects against wrong actions and making hasty decisions.

Some amulets have quasi-intelligence and can lead a person away from danger: force him to leave some unreliable place or not come there at all. Amulets can save the life of their owner by “forbidding” them to appear in the place of a disaster or natural phenomenon.

The words of a protective spell can be written on amulets, but this is not necessary. Basically, inscriptions are applied to the talisman. The simplest example amulet - an amulet with words of prayer or protective herbs.

What is the difference between an amulet and a talisman? If the amulet provides a person passive protection, then the amulet can change the space around the owner. For example, an amulet can influence people who are in the aura of its attraction. Such amulets include natural stones: they can influence the human psyche.

Mascot

The word "talisman" is of Arabic origin and means "written text". A talisman can also protect its owner, but unlike an amulet and amulet, it provides active protection. What does this mean? The most famous talisman was the sword Excalibur, which endowed King Arthur with incredible strength. That is, talismans can bestow their owner with some qualities that they did not have before.

The talisman must be enchanted, that is, broadcast a magical program. If the amulet protects, thanks to its natural properties, then the protection of the talisman has a completely different character - initiatives. Some talismans can have such incredible power of influence on their owner that he is completely under their control.

The talisman can accumulate a huge amount of energy and give it to its owner at the right time. If, of course, it is programmed for this action. For example, a money talisman can attract financial flows to a person. The good luck talisman catches the energy of luck in the universe and directs it to a person.

How does a talisman differ from a talisman? For example, it can protect the owner from attack and harm. And a wolf’s fang, like a talisman, gives a person an animal’s grip and dexterity. A talisman with religious symbols gives a person protection, and a talisman with the same symbols provides the highest protection.

Bottom line

Let's summarize - what is the difference between these artifacts from each other, and what are their similarities? Amulets, amulets and talismans are similar in one thing - they are all human protectors. The difference lies in the nature of the protection and some properties. Thus, an amulet, in addition to protection, can organize the attraction of the necessary energies - health, luck, finances, beauty, self-confidence.

A talisman is always a means of attracting or changing something in a person or his environment. Usually talismans are based on cult traditions and are tied to certain egregorial formations. A talisman can be a cult sacred animal, a symbol of religion, a symbol of the gods or a cult sign.

IN modern world the boundaries between these artifacts are blurred, and many people perceive these objects as one indivisible whole. However, the amulet continues to have protective properties, and the talisman actively influences the environment.

How to understand that an artifact is a carrier of any information? To do this, you need to not part with the object of power for several days, and then try to get into mental contact. Hold the object in your hand, press it to your heart - what do you feel? Your talisman or amulet will definitely give some sign, or a special feeling will appear inside you. This is called telepathic communication. And you don’t have to be a magician to feel it.
